Alan Rachins as Douglas Brackman, Jr. Here's what the New York Times had to say about his character in 1990:

During the five seasons that L.A. Law has been broadcast, the boorish, balding Douglas -- in addition to being hung upside down in a hospital room with skin grafts on his posterior -- has had a Slinky caught in his braces, has engaged the services of a sex therapist because sex gives him gas and makes him faint, flipped his toupee in aerobics class while trying to impress the young instructor, discovered he has a pair of boorish, balding half-brothers, been arrested in a sushi bar and has voted himself out of the senior partnership at the firm that bears his father's name.

Some viewers think of Job when they ponder the tribulations of Douglas Brackman Jr.
